Press Release
RCDHU
Today, Renfrew County and District Health Unit (RCDHU) is confirming that one staff member at Tim Hortons in Renfrew, has a positive laboratory-confirmed case of novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).
As a result, Tim Hortons management has voluntarily closed both sites to undergo a deep clean of both facilities. All staff who have been deemed to be a close contact of the positive case, have been given direction to self-isolate and arrange for testing.
All patrons, including those who dined-in and visited the drive-through, are not considered to be at risk.
However, all Renfrew County and District (RCD) residents are advised to self-monitor daily for COVID-19 symptoms. Should they develop symptoms, immediately self-isolate and arrange for testing.
RCDHU is working closely with the management staff of both Tim Hortons locations, to ensure necessary measures continue to be in place to protect all staff, patrons and the public.
RCDHU staff is actively investigating the case and all high risk contacts will receive a standard text message from the RCDHU virtual assistant within 24 hours, notifying them that they have recently been exposed to COVID-19. All high risk contacts will be directed to complete the virtual assistant survey to complete contact tracing.
